Influenced by his parents from a young age, he was immersed in the culture of clay and developed a deep interest in Zisha pottery. After graduating from university, he returned to study Zisha pottery, building a solid foundation and mastering the skills of Zisha pot design and fully handmade pottery. Under the guidance of his mentors Liu Youliang, Wang Jigang, and Senior Arts and Crafts Master Zhu Zhifen, his works possess a rustic texture and profound charm, deeply embodying the essence of traditional pottery artistry. His handmade pots vary in size, with larger ones exuding a robust aura and smaller ones fitting perfectly in the palm. They range from coarse to fine craftsmanship; the coarse ones reveal the texture of the clay particles, while the fine ones exhibit a smooth luster. Later, under the tutelage of Arts and Crafts Master Xu Ximing, he explored and learned, making advancements in the realm of floral-themed pieces. His designed and created works primarily follow traditional styles, presenting an overall aesthetic that is elegant, grand, and highly artistic, ornamental, and practical. The craftsmanship is meticulous and upright, with natural and smooth lines. Each piece embodies the artist's heart and intention. His unique style is deeply cherished and collected by Zisha enthusiasts both domestically and internationally. 【Yellow Dragon Mountain Zhu Ni 'Big Red Robe'】 Selected from the raw Zhu Ni ore, this clay is fine-grained, uniform in particle size, pure in color, and possesses a moderate iron content, ensuring superior quality. Firing Temperature: 1166°C, Shrinkage Rate: 28% When speaking of Zhu Ni, one immediately thinks of (Xiao Mei Yao Zhu Ni, Zhao Zhuang Zhu Ni). However, there is another type of Zhu Ni, Yellow Dragon Mountain Zhu Ni, which is less abundant in ore and has a more pronounced sandy texture. Its characteristic is that the longer it is seasoned, the richer and more apparent the surface texture becomes, akin to the jade-like patina effect of Ben Shan Green Clay. The transformation of the tea liquor's flavor is also distinct from that of Zhu Ni from the other two regions. 【Frequently Asked Questions】 1. How to season the pot before first use?
